A Mile in His Shoes~ Family Movie Review

From the director of “Angels In the Outfield” comes an inspiring story about a special boy with an amazing gift, and the coach who believed. Dean Cain and Luke Schroder star in the gmc movie based on the book “The Legend of Mickey Tussler“.

 This was a fun, family Baseball movie! This enjoyable movie is Dove Approved for Family viewing. There were a couple of expletives and one violent scene where someone is injured ( no spoilers review!) but overall, I would say this is appropriate for all but the youngest viewers. The film deals respectfully with Aspberger’s Syndrome and has a good message about heroes, teamwork, acceptance and fairness.

You can check out the trailer here:

  2. I really hope to win this! I would love for my kids to see what its like to have Aspergers. I want my kids to be sensitive and compassionate towards others with disabilities of all kinds.

    • I agree Mark- good family films have always been profitable, but Hollywood has chosen to ignore our demographic. I have been thrilled at how small independent filmmakers are giving us quality alternatives! Thanks for entering the drawing!

  3. Would be curious to see it… especially since we live somewhere on the autism spectrum… although not so sure of the violent part…

    • (Spoiler Alert) The violence consists of a couple of guys grabbing Mickey and one of them punches him- we see the fist coming towards the camera and then it cuts away. The filmmaker does a good job of giving the viewer the knowledge of our hero being attacked, without being gory or overly violent. It could be scary for very young children who see the helpless innocence of the character (that we care for by this point in the movie) and know that he got hurt. Mickey is then missing but when he is found, he has a mild concussion and thus is out of the games for a while.
